Chapter 832: Journey Begins (Part 1)

Under the dim light, dozens of people were whispering quietly. The oldest of them has been hiding here for almost a year. They go out once every two or three days to get some leftovers and water around the kangaroos' farmland. So live.
Most of the people here have certain disabilities, and some people have basically lost their labor force. The kangaroos are very cruel to the human beings who have lost their labor force. If they have no fertility, they will be directly executed.
The reason why these people want to escape is probably driven by fear, and they will flee directly to the nearby dilapidated city. They have not eaten a full meal for many days.
Fredo could see that there are still many people who are afraid of him and are far away from him. Jamie is still taking care of Imogen, and carefully puts the batter and porridge into Imogen's mouth. inside.
Fredo had already told Jamie how to take care of Imogen, and though Jamie's movements looked awkward, he was careful.
After helping Imogen to move her body and clean up her excrement, Jamie took Imogen to a small house that had been arranged. After Jamie put Imogen down, she covered her with a blanket.
After walking out, Jamie picked up the laser weapon used by the kangaroos, and fiddled with it.
"Have you forgotten what I told you? Jamie, these weapons require the special mind waves of the kangaroos to be manipulated."
Jamie said with a smile.
"What if one day it really works."
Fredo didn't say anything anymore. He planned to rest until dawn tomorrow, and the injury on his body would almost recover in another night.
Fredo took out a crystal screen, opened it, and began to look at the map.
"Koukou, the shortest route."
Soon a blue line appeared on the map.
Already avoided some kangaroo branches along the way.
Fredo nodded, he had to go to Branch 99 as soon as possible to get the grain compression technology, and then he had to cross the territory of the five kangaroo regiments to the north coast. Once everything was done, he could set sail.
Seeing Jamie's excited look, Fredo didn't know what to say to Jamie, because Imogen was already helpless, no matter what Jamie did.
Fredo stood up, took out a cigar and lit it and walked to the door of the building. Looking at the dark and desolate street outside, many people behind him went back to their rooms to sleep.
Fredo pressed against the mottled walls and felt a little helpless. These things are symbols of human civilization. The kangaroos did not level the city, because these ruins are a kind of warning to human beings.
All of this is to highlight the power of the kangaroos. Everything in the past of human beings was destroyed by the kangaroos. The kangaroos need humans to have such cognition.
Fredo has asked many human beings, and they all only know that everything in human beings was destroyed by kangaroos, and they have no idea that such a catastrophic catastrophe has ever happened in this world.
And the kangaroos are also subtly changing the concept into a huge war broke out in the world at that time, the war was caused by humans, and then the kangaroos calmed everything down and enslaved humans.
Humans in this country no longer have any hope, because they have no power to resist the kangaroos. There were many humans who wanted to try to learn some knowledge. After being discovered by the kangaroos, these humans were cruelly treated.
After the birth of human children, the kangaroos will instill in them the idea of ​​being easy to rule when they start to recognize things, and will never let them touch anything related to knowledge.
"By the way, Fredo, see if what I wrote is correct."
In the empty hall, Jamie used stones to write numbers on the ground. It looked crooked, but it was generally correct. Jamie could write 10, but Jamie still couldn't understand the concept of numbers.
Once Frederick had a human friend, he had a set of methods that could teach a person simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, but after that friend died, it was difficult for Freder to teach humans these things by relying on the method he conceived.
Freedo had considered trying other methods, but it was clearly too difficult.
"1 plus 1 equals 2, right?"
Fredo nodded, Jamie continued to ask about other additions and subtractions, and Fredo answered patiently.
Two hours later, Jamie was still in high spirits, and Fredo was already feeling sleepy. This was the first time teaching people, maybe that's why he couldn't teach people something.
Kangaroos are inherently impatient, and Fredo can't get over it.
"Okay Jamie, go and rest."
"Teach me a little longer, Fredo, I'm still in good spirits."
Fredo smiled helplessly.
"Sorry, Jamie, my wound is a little sore right now."
Jamie realized that Fredo was still injured.
"Sorry Fredo, I'm going to bed."
Jamie returned to the small room, he leaned against the wall, and he also realized that Fredo was lying. It wasn't because of the pain that Fredo was hurt. When he first taught, Jamie asked what Fredo would explain patiently. , but the further back, Fredo's explanation became vague and a little irritable and disgusting.
"Maybe we were originally different races, and he didn't have any need to take us with him."
Jamie was a little sad at this time. As for learning some knowledge, although many things are difficult for Jamie to understand, learning is a very interesting thing.
Jamie felt it a long time ago. Jamie heard some old people say that this is human curiosity. Of course, Jamie doesn't understand what curiosity is, he just wants to know something.
It's just that no one can tell Jamie what the words on the papers floating on the street mean. Jamie can't understand even the simplest numbers.
Just when Jamie was a little lost, he felt that someone was looking at him in the dark. As soon as Jamie looked over, he was startled.
"Imoqin, are you awake!"
Jamie said in a somewhat excited tone, and ran over in a hurry. Sure enough, Imogen sat up, her eyes dully looking ahead.
"Aren't you scared? There's one more thing, don't blame me, Imogen, the few days you were in a coma..."
Jamie looked a little embarrassed, because in the days when Imogen was in a coma, Jamie helped to sort out the excrement. In the past, as long as there was a little physical contact, Imogen would be very angry.
"There's no other way. I'm sorry Imogen, I can only do this, otherwise your body will have problems, and I slept with you in the past few days, and your body was very cold."
Jamie said to himself, not noticing that Fredo was standing at the door. He looked at Imogen happily, but Jamie felt a little strange at this time, because Imogen was awake, but she looked It looks weird.
"Really I didn't mean Imogen, are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat."
Jamie said, but at this time Imogen was still staring blankly, staring at herself motionless, Jamie lowered her head, he thought maybe Imogen was too angry and was frightened.
"It's okay, Imogen, I'll take good care of you, you know, I've made up my mind, I'll go with you, Fredo also said he'd take me with you, we can leave this place soon There is a piece of land, and the place called Bright City may still exist, and it is ruled by humans. I am thinking that when we go there, we, who are also humans, should be able to live."
Jamie said, sitting next to Imogen, he lowered his head shyly, stretched out his hand and pressed it. Jamie has liked Imogen since a long time ago. Anyway, he likes it. This kind of feeling Jamie Heard it is called love.
Jamie also couldn't understand what love was, because he was very happy to see Imogen every day and wanted to do something for her. Many times Jamie was silently paying attention to everything about Imogen.
On the night of the riot, Jamie was actually sleeping, but Imogen said she was leaving. Although Jamie was scared, she ran with Imogen.
Jamie stretched out his hand little by little and touched a trace of coldness.
"You... your hands are so cold, Imogen."
Jamie's cheeks rolled with phlegm, he kept swallowing, and then tightly held Imogen's hand.
"Imoqin, actually.... I really liked you a long time ago."
Jamie smiled and leaned closer, but Imogen was still the same, as if she was sleeping with her eyes open. Jamie felt something was wrong, and he stood in front of Imogen.
"What's wrong with you, Imogen, talk."
Jamie pressed Imogen's arm and shook it. At this time, Imogen looked at Jamie, and Jamie said with a smile.
"Imoqin, what happened to you?"
Jamie asked, but no matter what Jamie said, Imogen never responded, and Imogen's eyes were cold, this extremely unfamiliar look made Jamie feel pain, and he became anxious.
"What happened to Imogen, what did they do to you?"
No matter what Jamie asked or said, Imogen never responded.
"Wait for a while, it may get better for a while, and it may be that you have suffered a very painful thing, causing some mental problems."
At this moment, Fredo's voice sounded, Jamie got up hastily, wiped the overflowing tears and asked.
"Really?"
Fredo nodded.
"I have seen similar humans before. They were very stimulated after being tortured, and it may take a year or two to become like this."
Fredo knew that such a lie was bad, but he couldn't bear to tell Jamie the truth, perhaps because of his own guilt. If he didn't mix these two children, Imogen wouldn't change. become like this.
The human prefrontal lobe is the key place that controls emotions, language and memory. Once removed, humans will experience memory loss, personality loss, language loss, and thinking will disappear, which is no different from a dead person.
Fredo didn't know why humans would save this surgical method that would make life worse than death. The kangaroos found this devastating blow to humans from the medical books of the past.
"Get her something to eat first."
Jamie got up, brought food shortly after, and carefully fed it to Imogen. She looked really hungry, and devoured it, but after eating, Imogen was still sluggish. appearance.
"Talk to her more."
Fredo said and left the room, Jamie hugged Imogen with a smile, because Imogen is cold now and can feel her shaking, Jamie wrapped it in a blanket, hugged Imogen and started Some whispers were spoken.
Fredo returned to the hall, where he was going to rest on the motorcycle, when several people came over.
"Is there anything else to eat? Can you give me some more?"
Fredo did not refuse their request. The food was enough for the three of them to travel hundreds of kilometers to the 99 branch. Fredo was still thinking about the future. Maybe Jamie would find out the truth one day.
"He might blame me then."
Fredo also thought that if Jamie found out the truth one day, he would apologize to Jamie well.
Fredo had read many books on human medical treatment. This vicious operation was created by humans, and the creator seemed to have won an extremely important award in human society. Fredo just thought it was funny.
There is no recovery method for the removal of the prefrontal lobe.
Fredo didn't get a good night's rest all night, always waking up and going back to sleep.
Until it was a little brighter outside, at 11 in the morning, Fredo planned to go on the road.
"Where are you going, Imogen."
Jamie took Imogen's hand and pulled her to the side of the motorcycle.
"Come up."
Jamie said, but Imogen was still sluggish and wanted to move forward. Jamie could only pick her up and put her in the pocket next to the motorcycle.
"Imoqin, have you forgotten?"
Jamie suspects that Imogen may have forgotten about the past, because Jamie has seen situations like this.
"Don't worry, you will definitely remember everything after a while."
Jamie said confidently, Fredo smiled, many people were watching them, Fredo gave them a lot of food and water, some people were saying goodbye to them, Jamie waved happily.
"Everyone should live well, and if I come back next time, I will bring you something."
Fredo squinted at Jamie, who had changed now, and he gave Fredo an inexplicable feeling.
"Sit still and hold Imogen."
Jamie hummed, letting Imogen leaned against his arms, and the motorcycle started.
At this time, the world in front of Jamie was extremely bright. He hugged Imogen tightly, no matter where he went next, now Jamie can go, no matter where it is.
Fury lit an extra cigar and laughed.
"By the way, Jamie, I'm really sorry last night. We kangaroos are impatient by nature. I have tried it. If you stay on the same thing for too long, kangaroos will become more restless. Please forgive me."
Jamie smiled.
"It's alright, next time you teach me a little while, Fredo."
